Answer:

1a. 12 : 40

1b. 15 : 21

1c. 24 : 44

1d. 2 : 25

2. 40 boys and 100 girls

3. 96 girls

4. £71.43

5a. 9 : 4

5b. 3 : 1

5c. 3 : 5

6. 210 : 90

7. Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to solve this question :(

Step-by-step explanation:

Since I'll be using a similar method to solve these questions, I won't go into a detailed explanation for how I solved every single question. If you do need extra help, please ask in the comments below my answer.

1. Let's use part (a) as an example. The ratio is 3:10. To new ratio is ?:40. So, 10 becomes 40. What number multiplied by 10 equals 40? The answer is 4. If 10 is multiplied by 4, then 3 must be multiplied by 4 as well. 3*4 = 12, so the ratio is 12:40.

In part b the ratio is multiplied by 3, part c is 4, and part d is 1/2.

2. To solve this, add the values on both sides of the ratio together: 2 + 5 = 7. Now, divide the total number of pupils, 140, by 7: 140/7 = 20. Finally, multiply 20 by both sides of the ratio: 2 * 20:5 * 20 = 40:100. There are 40 boys and 100 girls.

3. To solve this I used the same method as the one I used in question 1.

4. The ratio is 5:140, where 140 becomes 2000. To solve, use the method used in question 1.

5. Simplifying ratios is the same as simplifying fractions. Find the greatest common factor of the values on both sides of the ratio and divide both sides by that factor. For example, in part a the factor for 45:20 is 5. 45/5 = 9 and 20/5 = 4. The ratio becomes 9:4.

For part b the factor is 9 and for part c the factor is 50.

6. Same method as was used in question 2.

Hope this helps :)

C

100 divided by 2 (boy and girl) is 50, then 4 goes into 100 25 times so a chance of being a girl in a family of 4 is 25% or .25

Dany scored 93 in physics, 88 in mathematics, and a score in chemistry that is double his score in geography. The average score
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be Dany's score in geography. His score in chemistry is double his score in geography and it is equal to

2 x

The average of all four scores is 79. Hence

(93 + 88 + x + 2 x) / 4 = 79

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4

4×(93 + 88 + x + 2 x) / 4 = 4×79

Simplify

93 + 88 + x + 2 x = 316

Group like terms

3 x + 181 = 316

Solve for x

3 x = 135

3 x / 3 = 135 / 3

x = 45

score in geography = x = 45

score in chemistry = 2 x = 2 × 45 = 90

Hope it helped u if yes mark me BRAINLIEST!

In the past year Pablo watched 12 movies that he thought were very good. He watched 60 movies over the whole year. Of the movies
kumpel [21]

It would be 20 percent, I believe. First you would put it into a fraction of 12\60, then you would simplify that into 3\15 then divide as shown. You end up with .2 which would be 20 percent.
